Bruised but not broken

After writing my last blog called 'Realize' I really was coming to terms with the matters of the heart...but then last night I got an msn message that simply brought all those hurt feelings to surface again. Do things ever get easier for the girl who just wants to be loved and share the love she has?...or am I destined to be hurt over and over again...I just don't want to feel anymore...maybe the words of Joss Stone will help get me back on my feet again...

Been alot that I've been trough
I cried a tear a time or two
Baby, you know I cried some over you, yeah
Had my heart kicked to the ground
Love ripped me up and tore me down, baby
But that ain't enough to break

'Cause I'll rise above it
And I'll pick myself up
And I'll dust the pain off of my heart
And I'll be alrightAnd I'll love again
And the wounds will mend
I'm bruised but not broken
And the pain will fade
I'll get back my feet
It's not the end of me
My heart is still open
I'm bruised but not broken

Been alot of tear strained nights
I thought the tears were here for life, baby
The hurt came on and held on tight, yeah
Took a chance, I took a fall
Love broke my heart and shattered all my dreams
But I won't be down on my knees

'Cause I'll rise above it
And I'll pick myself up
And I'll shake the rain out of my heart
And I'll be alright
And I'll love again
And the wounds will mend
I'm bruised but not broken
And the pain fill fade
I'll get back my feet
It's not the end of me
My heart is still open
I'm bruised but not broken

Gonna pick my heart up
Take my life back
Shake the hurt away
Pull myself together, put the pieces back in place
See, I learned love's so hard
Love left my soul scarred
I was shattered inside

And I'll be alright
And I'll love again
And the wounds will mend
I'm bruised but not broken
And the pain fill fade
I'll get back my feet
It's not the end of me
My heart is still open
I'm bruised but not broken
